5Big Jack Halla pitching: for Topeka
Tuesday afternoon was entirely too bis
a burden lor the Wichita fans to sustain
and they went down to defeat for th;
fourth time , In the present series and
paid their respects for the second time
In -three days to the delivery of Jack
Halla. Everything one could desire in
the way of pitching was pulled oft by
Halla. His game was almost a no hit
one, as both of his hits were of an ex
ceedingly scratchy order. One from
Bpeer landed Just outside of the reach
of Colonel Runkel and the other came
In the ninth Inning after two men were
out. Milan hit one at Halla in the ninth
after two strikes had been called and
another had been called a ball which
was very close. Milan's hit went to
Halla. and bounded off his mit.- Halla
was aa steady as a twenty-three jeweled
Elgin movement, not one single piece ui
transportation being issued to the vis
itors. It was the best game that the
big Dutchman has ever pitched on th5
local diamond and !s probably his great
est performance.
Outside of the two scratchy connec
tions with Halla's delivery but one mar.
reached first. This was In the seventh
Inning whene Steve Ragan made a wide
throw to first to catch Hetling. This
was the only error of the game and did
not cost anything as Hetling was exe
cuted 1n a futile effort to get to second.
Wichita has not had a man on second
base sinca Sunday which is now ancient
Forhe invading cohorts of the Sedg
wick county seat. Speer. the little curly
headed southpaw, worked in the center
of the diamond before the Ladies' Day
crowd and pitched an ordinarily good
game. Had it not been for the fact that
his team mates were helpless before the
deceptive offerings of Halla. his pitch
ing would probably have won. He only
allowed five connections to be made
with his sidewheel revolutions and in
addition fanned eight men. But luck
was against him In one inning and To
peka sneaked a run over which decided
the game.
Something seems to be ailing the
Wichita team. They have lost their
batting eye and -their daubers have
been, subdued to a position 273 de
grees below zero, centigrade. If they
would be up against Topeka all the
time their dreams of winning the pen
nant would fade away in a halo of
jiebulbus nothing and they would be
occupying a ' position. In. close proxi
pilty to Leavenworth.
f In onlv one Inning were there any
tflforts towards .crossing the pan
which are worthy, oT being recorded
tn these pages. All- tpis transpired in
the fourth inning .with Topeka at the
bat. . Little Ole -Olson.-was the leading
gentleman in breaking the ice. Being
the first man up tn .this round he uti
lized the occasion to advantage by lac
ing out a pretty double to left field.
Spencerino Abbott very courteously
fanned out. but the third strike grace
fully glided through the slender foun
dation pillars of Buck Weaver without
an iota of resistance and Mr. Abbott
reached first. Olson gomg to third.
Ragan was up to play the role of a
pinch hitter, but a grounder to Hetling
caught Olson at the plate and allowed
Abbott to go to second, Ragan reach
ing first. Colonel Louis Runkel of
Milwaukee, proved his adeptness at
hitting in a pinch by singling to cen
ter field bringing Spencerino home
with the winning count of the game.
Ragan reached third on the single and
toon thereafter Runkel assumed life
on second base by an unopposed steal.
Lawler was at the bat with ' instruc
tions for the squeeze play which To
peka fans see very frequently. After
two -trikes had been called Ragan
darted for the home plate. Lawler
struck at the ball and Ragan was
caught at the plate. It was all over.
Halla was backed up by brilliant
fielding and pulled on" several rich stunts
himself. Olson and Runkel covered lots
of territory and pulled oft repeated and
ceminglv impossible plays. For the
visitors Kelly's running catch of Run
' kel's fly over second base was the
bright particular piece of fielding. Milan
also played a great game.

g g PURIFIES
Q.)oQo'THE BLOOD
! There ia no otherpart of our physical system upon which so much
depends as upon the blood. The muscles, nerves, bones, sinews, skin, and
other portions of the body are sustained, developed and enabled to perform
their different duties, because they are supplied with nourishment and
healthful properties through the circulation. In various ways the blood
becomes contaminated and polluted. A sluggish, inactive condition of the
system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, will leave the refuse
and waste matter of the body to sour and form uric and other acids, which
are absorbed into the blood and Rheumatism, or some itching, disfiguring
akin disease is the result. Muddy, sallow-complexions, eruptions, splotches
pimples, etc., all show that some humor has taken root in the circulation
and rendered it sour and unfit for nourishing the body. There is scarcely
any disease which cannot be traced to the blood. Often the disease-tainted
blood of parents is handed down to children and their lives are a continual
battle against disease in some form, usually of a scrofulous nature. Rheu
matism, Catarrh, Skin Diseases, Sores and Ulcers, Contagious Blood Poison,
etc., are all deep-seated blood troubles, and until this vital fluid is purified
they cannot be cured." For all blood diseases S. S. S. is the best remedy ever
put upon the market. This great medicine is made of roots, herbs and barks
of recognized blood-purifying and building-up properties. It goes down into
the circulation and removes all poisons, impurities and humors, supplies
the blood with the healthful properties it needs and completely cures blood
Jiseases of every kind. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula,
Skin Diseases, Sores and Ulcers, Contagious Blood Poison, etc because it
fsrifies the blood. Book on the blood and medical advice free.

ITTZ TO TRY ONCE MORE.
The One Time Champion Will Fight
Jack Johnson.
Philadelphia, July 17. Is it to be a
walkover tonight, when the colored
heavyweight fighter. Jack Johnson
meets Bob Fitzsimmons. one - time
champion of the world, or can the old
lion come back strong enough -to stall
off the man whom, all the big fellows
of the country have been dodging for
mrea years ;
Robert Fltzsinunons. the - Grand Old
Man. Who Will Make One
More .Fight. ' .
The strangely assorted pair are due
to light tonight ' here, and one of the
biggest' .crowd? 1that has . attended a
light In- this city fp. years is promised
by the advanc&fe of "seats for the 6
round bout." -- "i.
Knowing ' that Fltxsimmons has
been unable to show any form for
three years, most" followers of the ring
believe they are merely paying a com
pliment to the one, time great fighter
when they unbelt and pay a big price
for the show. It is a foregone - con
clusons, say those who. know Fit well,
that he can not get back into fighting
condition and any showing that ha
makes tonight is expected to be more
or less of a gratuitous nature on the
part of Johnson.
The big negro. Is aa strong and
healthy as ever. rAt best he is a for
midable fighting machine and but for
a "white man's" verdict he would
have earned a decision over Marvin
Hart, who was then champion of the
world, when they met at Frisco. All
stories of that contest agree that the
coiorea scrapper chewed up his white
opponent and that the verdict was a
gift of the referee. . Had Johnson
been awarded the title It would have
forced Burns and all the others of his
Ilk Schreck and that sort to come
to Johnson for a chance at the title.
Johnson, if he puts Fitz away, is
supposed to be offered a chance at the
cnampion, Burns. Whether he will
get it or not depends entirely on how
badly Burns a In need of either a
winner's or loser's end of a big purse.
SQUIRES IN RETIREMENT.
Manager Is to Go Home, But Boxer
Will Remain In America.
San Francisco, July 17. All chance of
an immediate fight for "Boshter" Bill
Squires, in which the Australian would
have a chance to redeem his reputation,
Is evidently gone. . Barney Reynolds, his
friend and companion, announces that
Squires will not fight again for several
months.
Reynolds win leave for Australia soon.
but Squires will remain in California
and go into seclusion in the country.
Squires has had some good offers. Coff
roth offered to get a match with Mike
Schreck, to take place in San Francl3co.
Tom McCarey wanted to sign Tom
Flynn and Squires for Los Angeles and
Philadelphia promoters suggested a six
round engagement with Burns. Squlri3
cays he wishes to. .acclimatize himself.

Nitrogen, you know, is the most important constituent of
human tissue. In other words, the food value of wheat is
measured by its percentage of nitrogen. The cracker that
retains all this nutriment is the perfect, soda cracker and
the perfect soda cracker has the highest food value of any
cooked wheat food.
Now you know why the dainty Takoma Biscuit make a whole
some, satisfying luncheon.
They furnish in its most palatable form all the nutriment of
specially selected soft winter wheat famous for its great per
centage of nitrogen. This wholesome goodness is retained

WESTERN ASSOCIATION GOSSIP.
WHERE THET PLAT TOMORROW:
Topeka at Webb City. , : ,
Joplin at Hutchinson. .
Oklahoma City at Leavenworth.
Wichita at Springfield.
The White Sox left last night for
Webb City where they will play a ser
ies of three games. From there they
will go to Springfield for' four games
and probably five will be played with
a double header on Sunday. Three
games will be played in Joplin and the
Joplin team will return home with the
Topeka team July 27 which will be a
week from Saturday.
Peewee Jones did not accompany the
team on their trip last night.- His in
jury still bothers him but will be all
right in a day or two. He could work
now in a pinch but a little move faster
than the ordinary which he might have
to make in fielding his position might
put him on the bum and he will take
no chances with it. The games on the
present schedule are with the weaker
teams of the league and it is doubtful
if he will play on the trip.
Woolp'y did not Join the team in Kan
sas City, last night as expected. He
wanted to stay in' Leavenworth until
tomorrow. Davis went right on through
with the team 'to Webb City and will
play .until Wooley Joins the team. Her
man Crow will go to Leavenworth
Thursday and will- endeavor to make a
dal with President Rohr which will re-
pult in the outright, purcnase or Wooley.
Wooley will not jin the team, until
Crow has a conference with Rohr. In
the meantime Davis will play with th.
White Sox and if Wooley is purchased
outright he will continue with the locals.
Umpire O'Connell who has been work
ing in the series just closed seems to be
a good man with the indicator. .Both
teams- are well pleased with the showing
he has made. . O'Connell is an old ball
player and knows a great deal about
the game' which is- in his favor. If he
gets along all over . the circuit as well
as he has here there Is no doubt that
he will make good in great shape.

after . Umpire Eckman Insist that he
deliberately robbed Leavenworth, but
on the other hand two members of the
Leavenworth club declare that Eck
man's decisions were fair. A majority
of those who attended the game ex
press the same opinion. Despite the
fact that -Eckrnan has participated in a
number of fights with players he Is
recognized as one of the best and fair
est umpires . in the Western Association.
Whether he was wrong or right in his
decisions yesterday was not for people
in the audience to take up. Bad de
cisions should be taken up by the cap
tains of the teams and the captains
alone. There was absolutely no excuse
for the assault upon Eckman yester
day. The latter claims Quigley called
him a very bad name and says he
benched him on that account. During
all the excitement Eckman seemed pei
fectly cool and apparently did net fear
the mob.
Jack Holland says that the Wichita
team had a great slump in their bat
ting during the series Just closed. In
reply to the reason for the slump he
said that the fielding of Olson was al
together too much for the left handed
hitters- of the Jabbers and that nearly
every one of Olson assists represented
one hit less for Wichita. Holland says
if any man in the association at the
present time Is due for faster company
next season It is Olson. "

spittle. Why this pessimism? Wich
ita has no more cinch on first place
than Oklahoma City has on second
place. With the season only half over,
it would be the easiest thing in the
world for the Jobbers to slump. Should
they lose only six straight games and
should the Mets take seven straight,
these two teams would be tied up, and
with Wichita losing steadily to To
peka, it does not seem out of reason
to predict the possibility of some other
aggregation assuming the lead.
The Dalrymple deal is still far from
being settled. When the news of the
suspension of the veteran first reached
Topeka, Manager Herman Crow
wired to Dubuque for their terms,
tending towards a settlement of the
case, and so far nothing has been
heard from Dubuque. Something is
wrong somewhere. Until Dubuque
makes their proposition to the local
management, Dalrymple must con
tinue on the bench.
Manager Herman Crow did not ac
company the team last night, but will
spend the time between now and the
next home series at Excelsior Springs.
He will take a run up to Leavenworth
Thursday to talk with Al Rohr in re
gard to the Wooley deal. He will also
take in the series of games at Kansas
City which open today between the
Louisville Colonels' and the Kansas
City Blue Legs. Peggy Robblns, secre
tary of the local team, accompanied
the team on the trip. He will have
charge 'of the business end of the trip.

and' will travel with them on a tour
through Illinois and Iowa.
Gilbert, the pitcher who has been
expected to Join the team for several
days arrived yesterday and worked
out 'in the practice. He would prob
ably have pitched had it not been for
the fact that Halla was very anxious to
work against the Jobbers in order to
make it four straight. Gilbert will
probably work in the opener against
Webb City this afternoon.
Here is what Jack Holland, the
manager of the Wichita team which
was defeated four straight games by
the champions, has to say of the
series: "I have no excuse to offer ex
cept that we were outplayed. Topeka
always could play ball agalrfst us and
they certainly did it thia series. Wo
never had a chance at any game ex
cept the first one which we - would
have won-had not Speer been so wild
at critical times. We were fairly and
squarely defeated and that is all that
I have to say. We have had a slump
end it has been the worst one of the
season. We have slumped particu
larly in our-batting. . Milan, Becker.
Bayles3, Hetling and myself have been
hitllnggood all season until we struck
Topeka. We haven't hit a lick here.
If we don't get back to work we will
lose out in the pennant as I can see
that there is a good long road between
us and the rag. There is absolutely
nothing responsible for our defeat ex
cept our slump in batting. The soonet
we get over it the better."
